Worldwide photometry and lightcurve observations of 1 Ceres during the 1975-1976 apparition
Abstract
We present 19 lightcurves of asteroid 1 Ceres obtained during a global campaign in 1975-1976. The synodic period is 0.37812 ± 0.00004 day. The mean absolute V magnitude is 3.61 ± 0.03 and the phase coefficient is 0.40 ± 0.001 mag/deg. The U-B and B-V phase coefficients are +0.0015 ± 0.0007 and +0.0006 ± 0.0003 mag/deg, respectively. The colors at zero phase are B-V = +0.70 ± 0.01 and U-B = +0.41 ± 0.01.
